Message:	*	Dear Friend: I am signing the People’s Veto to undo a recently enacted law taxing flavored water, sports drinks, cola, diet cola, juice drinks AND beer and wine AND health insurance claims. Taxing everyday beverages and doctor’s bills to fund Dirigo Health is not a good idea. We need to be looking at how to bring down medical costs directly and make care more affordable for everyone rather than raising taxes on Maine consumers to pay for outrageous health care costs. Maine families are struggling financially in this difficult economy. This is absolutely the worst time to be asking us to pay more for the products we consume. Did you know that Maine people will end up spending and extra $75 million per year because of these new taxes? This tax affects everyday people like you and me and it also affects small businesses like convenience stores, restaurants, and grocers. When businesses are struggling, the last thing we need to do is put more pressure on them through higher taxes. I hope you will join me in supporting Fed Up With Taxes and lending your name to the tens of thousands of people who are committed to repealing these new taxes.

The Facts

Q. What is a People’s Veto?

A. The People’s Veto Veto process is our right to challenge an act of the Maine Legislature by putting on the ballot. The Fed Up With Taxes Coalition collected more than 95,000 signatures from Maine citizens who oppose new taxes on beverages and health care. This allows the issue to be put on the November 4, giving all of us a chance to “Vote Yes On Question 1” to undo this tax increase that the legislature tried to sneak by us.
